It was on one of those spring mornings where the air is fresh and cool and it
actually smells like it is going to be a sweet, wonderful day. This is how I
remember waking up on a typical morning in the spring of 1987. I was a junior
in high school, and the song that was on when the clock radio turned on was
"With or Without You," a song unlike any other song that was on the radio at
the time. I'm pretty sure the perfect morning I described wasn't so perfect,
really. But that's how I remember it. That's what's so powerful about great
music, and this was and still is a great song (I quote elena: "the song to end
all songs").

At this time I was only vaguely aware of U2. "Pride"? Yeah, I've heard that.
"Live Aid"? I think I remember something about this Bono (pronounced, at
least in my head, "Boh-noh") fellow at Wembley Stadium. But that morning as
Mr. The Edge's sweet sustaining guitar pulled me from my sleep, I became a
fan.

More than a decade later this band, for all the reasons that we all sign on to
this list, is still my favorite. I'm thinking they always will be.

That's my little story.
